Hand dragging

[Wag]

Thought I saw an elbow dragger photo once. Also a head dragger. I always thought they were photochopped.

I dont see what the big deal is with it...on the right curve,it is soo easy to do.....

I have a few pics at home of guys dragging elbow...

Looks cool...don't thnk I would like tearing the tips of expensive gloves up like that.

If you're not draggin' it too hard, just enough to graze the top of the tarmac, it's barely even noticeable.

The real danger is if you hit and irregularity in the road surface you could cause serious injury.

They actually encourage that at the Freddy Spencer school.

 

[Wag]

I can see why. It's a sign that you have you bike perfectly balanced in the turn. If you do it right, the bike should be able to handle it all by itself without any further input from you.

missed those enjoyed checking out the azz

Its pretty easy, you get the right speed and no problem, Just gotta learn to drive in a corner with the right hand only. It is fun and when I am in the mood, feels great, although it really eats up your gloves!!!

Hurry, someone on site get some metal fingertips out there on auction. Vman can shoot sparks with knee and fingertips.

I don't know, uh, what's the point? I don't get it. If you dump it or lose a finger or hand, seems kind of foolish. No please!

 

[sproket]

Cool....something new to try out next time...

 

[heavybusa]

WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY out of my league but very cool!!

So does this qualify as "Squid-racer"?? hahahhahaa hand draggage accomplishes nothing except to show how stable a bike is in a well planned turn. that was at Heartland Park raceway, Topeka KS - GREAT track btw, and mostly for the video guy behind me. I think VMAN has some much better pics of that style action

again, I don't do that on open roads - I never trust their surfaces, I always take it to the track

 

[ToyKraz]

I don't see the point in doing it.

I have already spent to much time in a body cast.

a few spots on the Cherohala Skyway are nice for that....the wife needs to relax a little more before I let her try it. She's likely to forget and "lean over" to reach it...DOH!
